USD/CAD: Support at 1.2638/32 to hold on a closing for strength back to 1.2813/15 – Credit Suisse

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

USD/CAD completed a bullish “key reversal day” on Thursday. Analysts at Credit Suisse expect the pair to see further gains towards the 1.2813/15 highs.

Upside bias while above 1.2638/32

“Resistance is seen at 1.2788 initially, above which should see strength back to the 1.2813/15 highs. Above here can add momentum to the rally, with resistance then seen next at 1.2848/54 and eventually back at the 1.2952/64 December high, which may prove a tough barrier again.”

“Support at 1.2638/32 now needs to hold to maintain an immediate upside bias in the broader range. Below can see a retreat back to 1.2581, but with 1.2560/54 ideally holding. More important support though is still seen at the 200-day average and uptrend at 1.2526/07.”

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD slips below key averages as geopolitical risks mount

GBP/USD fell about 0.35% on Tuesday, settling around 1.3350 after slipping below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average for the first time since early December. The pair has pulled back sharply from its late-January high near 1.3870, shedding over 500 pips in a series of lower highs and lower lows.

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low. Sustained safe-haven flows, amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, act as a tailwind for the bullion. However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.
